[Updated] Not everyone loves Tim Tebow
We're told that Tebow already has gotten a taste of the resistance he might face at the next level.
At the Scouting Combine, the Wonderlic exam is administered to players in groups. The 12-minute test is preceded by some brief instructions and comments from the person administering the test.
Per a league source, after the person administering the test to Tebow's group had finished, Tebow made a request that the players bow their heads in prayer before taking the 50-question exam.
Said one of the other players in response: "Shut the f--k up." Others players in the room then laughed.
We're not passing judgment on this one; we're just passing along what we've heard. And it illustrates the type of challenges that could be faced by the team that drafts Tebow.
You put you head up high enough and someone is going to throw rocks at you.
Oh well...
UPDATE: Tebow denies it happened...
But Tebow says it didn't happen.
"Not one single word of it is true," Tebow told me.
Tebow has a very genuine and disarming way about him. There's an innocence and kindness in his voice that conflicts with the image of a highly successful college quarterback, who was arguably one of the best college football players of all time.
He was nevertheless firm and resolute in his denial.
"One of the number one things for me is being someone of character and when I say something people can take it to the bank," Tebow said. "That story is absolutely not true."
Tebow then named several of the other players who were in the room, and he invited me to check his version with each of them.
Tebow explained that he said nothing to the group of roughly 100 players, and he said that he spoke only to BYU quarterback Max Hall.
Whatever...
Even if it isn't true this is a direct result because Tebow is so overexposed.

Of course Tebow is going to deny it
No one wants to look a total fool. Oh he wasn’t the greatest football player of all time, hell he isn’t even the best QB of all time. And it isn’t an argument.
theres no denying
tebow is in the conversation for one of the great COLLEGE football players of all time

He's a spread QB
and he’s great at that. Is he one of the best of all time. Perhaps. Is he one of the best QB’s? I don’t think he was better than Vince Young, or Leinart for that matter. Vince Young didn’t even win the Heisman and he went undefeated and won the National Championship. Tebow won the Heisman in a year that he had 4 losses including a loss to Michigan in a bowl game. Tebow won the Heisman because of his legs. His arm was not the greatest.
Is Tebow one of the best players? Maybe. One of the best QB’s i would say no.

this is on point
but Tebow will always be #1 in the hearts of middle aged southern white men.
If he isn't even the greatest QB, how can he be the greatest overall player?
I’m not saying he wasn’t great, but he was so much a product of the UF system. Is he up there, yes. Maybe I’m just too tired of hearing about him biting off the foreskins of young Asian boys.

20 TDs on the ground, and 20 passing TDs
No one has ever done that before he did it as a sophmore. Tebow was amazing at what he did. He had an offense that played to his strengths. I don’t think that he will be able to function at the NFL level, but he was a great college player, that is for sure.
Tebow may end up in politics
5-7 years in the league, then the poster boy for the religious right? That’s my prediction.
Dude is living in a lollipop world, I am sure in 5 years he will be on Sunday TV but not on major stations.
This might be his new Gig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnbVqwV8aw4
